Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan To Be Agriculture Minister

Ex-Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan - who orchestrated the BJP's thumping win in the Assembly election last year, but was stood down from returning in that role - is the new Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister, replacing the BJP's senior tribal leader Arjun Munda.

The Agriculture Ministry is among the more high-profile in the Narendra Modi government, given continuing tension with farmers since the 2020 protests over the three farm laws.

Discontent among the farmers has been seen as one reason why the BJP fared poorly in states like Uttar Pradesh, where it got only 29 seats in this election, compared to 62 in 2019 and 71 in 2014. The BJP also won fewer seats in states like Punjab and Haryana, from where farmers also protested.
